Daming pirates

This Linjia Village is actually familiar to local immigrants. It is just east of Majiapu, about twenty miles upriver. Their village is close to the Tamsui River. It is also a village that came to the local area earlier and has a relatively large number of villagers.

, has always been relatively strong, and with their strength in numbers, they have clashed with villagers from some surrounding immigrant villages many times.

The clan leader of Linjia Village was also a pirate, and his origins were quite similar to Ma Ruyi's. They were both strong men, but they were unlucky and could not make a name for themselves. They were bullied everywhere, so they took their subordinates and clan members to the village.

It occupies a space here and has shrunk.

But because they have more people, they can force people to keep their true names, so they are stronger here. Linjia Village is no better than Majiapu. They go deeper into Tamsui River, so they have no chance to see the sea wolf's big battle.

Moreover, it was Majiapu who brought the Sea Wolf people there. The two families were already at odds with each other, and no one was convinced by the other, so when the Majiapu people went to tell them that the boss of the Sea Wolf had invited

They came to Majiapu to discuss matters and told them that this place would be under the jurisdiction of Hailang from now on.

The people in Linjia Village didn't listen at all. Instead, they didn't say bad words to each other. They even fired arrows at Majiapu and the Sea Wolf tribe who were accompanying them on the wall. Moreover, they didn't send anyone here afterwards.

Nowadays, Linjiacun has naturally become the target of Yu Xiaotian's attacks.

As the alarm gong rang rapidly, Linjia Village suddenly became lively, because they saw that on the originally calm river, suddenly three big two-masted boats came upstream from the downstream, and slowly arrived at their Linjia Village.

Outside the village and close to the river, the sails began to drop and the anchor stopped.

Then the three boats put down their sampans, and more than fifty capable men got off the boats and onto the shore. Judging from their clothing, it was the people who followed Majiapu who came here a few days ago to ask them to send people to Majiapu.

A group of people at the Fort meeting.

In other words, these people must be the group of sea wolves mentioned by the Ma family. Now Lin Fu, nicknamed Lin Laizi in Linjia Village, was a little panicked.

He knew that he had messed up things this time. He originally thought that Ma Ruyi had just contacted a group of small pirates and wanted to force him to bow his head due to the power of others. Therefore, when Tianma Ruyi sent people here a few days ago, he did not let them go at all.

In the eyes.

In the past few years, there have been frequent conflicts between the Lin family and the Ma family over land grabs. The two sides were of similar strength, but Ma Ruyi was close to the river mouth and controlled the trade route, which made the Lin family jealous and tried to seize the business. For this reason, both parties became even more

There have been constant conflicts, one small fight every three days and one big fight every ten days. Now the two parties can be said to have reached the point of incompatibility.

Leng Buding and Ma Ruyi sent someone to tell him to go to Majiapu and tell him that a sea wolf was coming and that this area would be the sea wolf's territory from now on. Lin Laizi didn't believe it, but was not convinced.

He didn't know much about the news on land in the past few years. In addition, Yu Xiaotian's Sea Wolf rose relatively late, so he had never heard of the Sea Wolf's name, so he wasn't too nervous or concerned about it.

But today, when he saw these boats going upstream and arriving at his Linjia Village, he realized that things were a bit troublesome.

So he quickly called on the young and strong people from Linjia Village, climbed up the wall together, picked up all kinds of weapons they could find, and made a posture of resistance. After all, he saw that the number of people on the other side was not very large, although it looked like

These Sea Wolf tribesmen were more powerful, but he still thought that as long as he stayed in the stronghold, these people might not be able to do anything to them.

What's more, Lin Laizi felt that they came here to be as high as the sky and the emperor was far away, and they didn't want to be controlled by anyone anymore. Now whoever doesn't come here to say that this land is under their control, his surname is Lin, he will have to obey others.

Where can such cheap things be found in the world?

In short, he would not surrender if he were asked to do so now, so Yelang arrogantly thought that there was no need to be too afraid today. These people could not defeat his Linjia Village, so he would retreat in the face of difficulties.

So he called for people to prepare bows and arrows, and then went to carry out a few cannons from their village. They even chiseled two wooden cannons themselves using a kind of hardwood produced locally.

This thing doesn't have much charge, it can't hit far, and it's easy to explode, but it's quite a powerful guy in this area.

Linjia Village has its own small iron workshop. Compared with other villages, they have certain advantages. They can make weapons and farm tools by themselves. The iron hoops on the cannon are made by them themselves.

So they are also used to it in the local area. Except for Majiapu, they have nothing to do, and other villages also have to look at their faces and act.

Yu Xiaotian was currently on a boat near the river, using a monocular to observe Linjia Village on the shore. When he saw the people in Linjia Village and discovered that they had arrived, he did not immediately surrender, but actually refused.

He started to get into a fight with them.

If it had been more than a year ago, it would have been quite difficult for him to attack this village with such a small number of manpower.

But now he has changed from shotgun to cannon, and the quality of the firearms on hand has been comprehensively upgraded, making his current weapon technology level catch up with or even surpass the most advanced countries of this era. The next step will even be in the near future.

, he may even develop a newer rifled rifle. With his current equipment level, it would be a joke if he couldn't even win over this small village.

What's more, his men are all strictly trained warriors now, and they are no longer a ragtag bunch like before. If he gets a bad start here today, then he can pack up his things now and take his brothers back to Nanyue Island to wash themselves.

Go to sleep.

Originally, he wanted to show courtesy to the Lin family village first, but when he saw the arrogance of the other party, raising his cannon and drawing his bow and arrows, in a fight-to-death posture, Yu Xiaotian gave up the idea.

idea.

"Pass my order and tell the brothers who landed ashore that you won't be polite to them today! Let's bombard the village for them first and give them an hour to capture the village for me. Those who resist will be killed without mercy, and all the rest will be killed."

Capture it and bring it back to Majiapu!" Yu Xiaotian put away the telescope in his hand. This thing is not very easy to use. Because it is not sealed, there is often moisture on the lens inside, which affects observation, so he plans to go back and think about it.

The way to solve this problem is to at least keep the copper pipe dry.

The soldier immediately conveyed his order, and the thirty soldiers and more than twenty assisting sailors who came ashore immediately moved to the left side of Linjia Village, making room for the shelling of the three ships on the shore, thus preventing the occurrence of

accidental injury.

Linjia Village is actually right next to the Tamsui River. It is only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the river, which allows them to easily go fishing or boating on the river. Therefore, this distance is just the target for the artillery on the Sea Wolf ship.

With little effort, he hit this village accurately.

After each ship received the order to bombard, the sailors on the three ships immediately took action and began to remove the cannon coats of the artillery on each ship. They quickly moved the ammunition from the bottom tank to the deck, loaded the artillery, and completed the task.

Preparation for bombardment.

These three ships are all small-displacement bird ships or flying boats. Each ship is not very powerful and can only be equipped with three six-pound guns at most.

If they fire together, the three boats can only fire six six-pound cannons at the same time, but even so, this kind of firepower is enough to deal with a village with such a wooden fence.

Following Yu Xiaotian's order, the cannons on the three ships began to fire one after another, starting from the first ship.

All that was heard was banging, banging, banging... several consecutive cannon fires, and the three boats shook violently. The few stewards of the immigrant village who were forcibly invited to watch the battle with Yu Xiaotian on the boat were suddenly shocked.

When they saw the sea wolf firing, everyone turned pale with fright.

When had they ever seen such a battle? As soon as the cannon sounded, the two timid guys fell down directly on the deck. The remaining bolder ones were also fighting at this moment and quickly found something to hold on to.

Live, for fear of being thrown down on the spot and making a fool of myself.

However, the Sea Wolf tribe members and Yu Xiaotian on the ship all looked as if they were old gods, and there was no sense of nervousness at all. There was only the roar of the gunners on the ship, who worked hard to clear the barrel and reload, and then shouted the trumpet.

Zi pushed the cannon back to the gun port again and began to aim and fire again at Linjia Village on the shore.

Originally, Lin Laizi was still shouting in the village. He was holding a knife on his injured leg and cheering the villagers. He told them that if any thieves dared to attack the village, they would be killed.

Call him here.

But suddenly they heard a strange whistling sound in the air, and then felt the wall of the village suddenly shake. Only then did they hear the sound of cannons coming from the river.

Looking at the wall of the village, suddenly a piece of debris flew up. A villager was lying on the wall of the village looking out. The wall in front of his chest was reduced to a piece of debris. A cannonball hit his position unbiasedly.

In an instant, the villager's upper body was torn into pieces, and his internal organs flew out in all directions.

The villagers on the wall immediately broke into camp and started running around in fear, crying for their fathers and mothers.

When Lin Laizi saw such a scene, he was frightened on the spot. He didn't expect that these sea wolves were so ruthless. They came over and started fighting without saying a word. They didn't give them a chance at all. Moreover, the opponent's cannon was so powerful.

, he actually called me from such a distance.

How could a pirate have such a good cannon? He could actually fire it so accurately. Looking at his village, a cannonball landed directly in the village. A house was smashed by the cannonball with a loud bang, and it was lifted up.

A cloud of dust and smoke.

Before Lin Laizi and the others could react, a second round of shells came over in a short while. This time, the shells landed more accurately. Basically, they all focused on their wooden wall, instantly destroying the wall.

Several holes were blasted out, made of logs

The wall of the village cannot withstand the bombardment of six-pounder cannon shells at such a distance. A log as thick as a bowl will be directly blown off if it catches the shell. Even the reinforced cross arm in the middle of the log cannot withstand such a blast.

After the bombardment, several sections were broken.

The wall that originally seemed to be very solid began to look shaky after just two rounds of shelling. One section had become shaky, causing the villagers climbing on it to scream in fright, and some turned around and cried.

After jumping into the village, Sayazi fled towards the village.

Lin Laizi was really frightened. He stood blankly on the wall of the village with his knife in hand. He didn't recover for a long time, but the shells came from the pirate boat on the river.

This time, the shells chose the village gate directly facing the river bank. Two shells accurately hit the village gate. This kind of village gate could not withstand the bombardment of the shells. Even though the village gate was opened with two holes as big as a washbasin,

The thick latch used to close the door also broke instantly, and the village door was slowly knocked open inward.

After Yu Xiaotian saw that the gate of the village was smashed, he waved his hand and ordered to stop the bombardment. The soldiers and sailors on the shore who were waiting for danger now received the order to attack. More than fifty strong men, led by their leader

Next, they let out a sharp roar, roared together, raised their weapons, and rushed towards the village gate of Linjia Village...
